In which I DO go to the beach!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will have noticed that it got a bit hotter. The glory of Brighton is that it has a beach about a 5 minute walk away from work/myhouse/anything else in Brighton (we’re a compact city you know!) So for the last two days after work that is where I’ve been. Give it a…

Quirks of Art #1

  I’ve been meaning to start this series for ages. Now to explain, I’m not ‘arty farty’ (for want of a better term) I couldn’t tell you my favourite artists, or actually if I am honest tell you the last time I went to an art gallery (that’s a lie, it was Feb. ‘11 in Amsterdam, the Van Goph museum,…

In which I am comfortable

  Tshirt/dress thing: H&M. Cardigan: Peacocks. Leggings: Topshop shortarse Not the most flattering of outfits, and also kind see through, however I like it and wear it lots (H&M baggy t shirt/dress, peacocks cardi). The belt is from a miss Selfridge dress, but I generally just tuck a bit of the side in to the top of my leggings so…

In which I drive a bus

    Dress: F21 It has really detailed pleating down the centre of the top part, which photographs terribly, but looks good so take my word for it! These pictures don’t do the dress justice, and I forgot to bring a belt with me. I wore this to dinner with worky people the night before the conference. I packed in a…

In which I don’t go to the beach

     Dress: Matalan (oooolllld!) Cardigan: Peacocks (also oooold) So this is what I wore to the ‘beach themed’ conference I went to last week, I moaned about it here. Obviously I would’ve gone in by bikini, but the rule was no swimwear! So this was most summery thing I could rustle up, and a few other people I went…

Makeup Questions

  I saw this absolutely yonks ago on Zoes blog, and realised I had a half completed draft that I forgot about, clearly! How often do you wash your face? If I’m 100% honest every 2nd day. Before you go URGH, I have a bath every other day and wash it then, on the other days I use a makeup…

In which I think about fashion part 5

[part 1 & part 2 & part 3 & part 4]  21. Something that you only wear around the house This is what I look like about 3.5 minutes after entering the house after work. Scuse the funny face 22. Something you only wear in the summer. Denim shorts, from Gap. This is as ‘jean’ as I get. A Summer…

In which I am fed up with rain!

     Dress: F21. Belt: Primark. Cardi: who knows? I wore this to work last week. It cheered me up slightly in the pouring, incessant rain we’ve been having down here! Saying that the sun is vaguely trying to peep out of the cloud as I type this, but more rain is forecast for the rest of this week so yay.…

In which I need your help!

    So I bought a wedding dress. It was kind of an impulse buy. It was 20% off, but it was still £150 over my very minimal budget for a dress. The dress is lovely, and bar having to lose my rather rounded belly in 6 months I like it. BUT (always a but!) I cant decide if I…

Norfolk Broads #2

you can see the first photo diary of my trip here   Potter Heigham          An actual real life Heron!           Irstead

In which I don’t get blown up

    Dress – Peacocks, Shoes – New Look My new favourite dress (partly because it is a size 8 and I am not a size 8 actually) but it ties at the back, with fairly flattering gathering at the front, and I love dresses with long sleeves because you don’t need a cardigan to keep your arms warm in…
